Brielle Williams is a recent college graduate on her way to getting a Ph.D. She focuses on healthy sexuality as it relates to autism, and plans to do her Ph.D. on sexual assault reduction programs. Brielle was diagnosed with autism at age 14, but her parents knew she was autistic when she was about 10. She comes from a AuDHD family, where every member of her immediate family has autism or ADHD or both - her family life is definitely hectic, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She absolutely loves mystery novels and is always open to recommendations. Brielle has worked as an RBT at Anika’s center for almost two years now, mostly working in maladaptive behavior reduction in early childhood-aged children. She recognizes some of the downfalls of and difficulties with ABA and wants to work to make the field as compassionate as it can be, specifically through "person-first, client-second" therapy. She is incredibly passionate about making the world a safer and kinder place for all autistic people.
